I The Frank Kelley Roast - Wilmington Town Crier

Four locals take part
in Maine road race
CAPE ELIZABETH, Maine
Gilbert Okari won in convinc-
ing fashion for his third
straight title and Lornah
Kipligat kept her unbeaten 2005
season intact in the eighth edi-
tion of the TD Banknorth
Beach to Beacon 10K Road
Race on Saturday in Cape
Elizabeth.
Okari and Kipligat are the two
hottest road racers in the world
right now, and they proved why
on a gorgeous, sun-filled morn-
ing in Maine. Okari of Kenya
and Kipligat of the Netherlands
dominated their competitors
along the winding, ocean-hug-
ging, 6.2-mile course.
Okari (27:38) broke free after
entering Fort Williams late in
the race and cruised to his third
win. He has won all the major
U.S. road race over the past
month. Fellow Kenyan Wilson
Kiprotich (27:44), who finished
fourth last year, stuck closer to
Okari this year to finish second.
Thomas Nyariki (28:05) of
Kenya took third, while John
Korir (28:20) of Kenya finished
a distant fourth. •
In the womens race, Kipligat
(31:34) tore out to a huge lead
early on and never looked back
to win her ninth major road
race in a row. She narrowly
missed the course record of
31:33. Alvetina Ivanova of
Russia (31:56), who finished
third last year, ran an identical
time this year and moved up a
place to second. Kenyans Grace
Monyani (32:21) and Sally
Barsosio (32:25), two of the
worlds best, finished third and
fourth.
" Four locals competed in the
race including: Peter Deroeve, ,
Tewksbury MA, .1:04:39.4; Erin'
Lynch Tewksbury MA, 1:04:39.1;
Kristen Pemberton, Tewksbury
MA, 57:33,3; Robert Pemberton,
Tewksbury MA, 49:22.6; Justin
Munson Wilmington MA,
49:13.6.
In the Maine races, Stanford-
bound Eric Giddings, 18, of
South Portland (30:34) shat-
tered the Maine record of 30:52
set in 1998, establishing himself
as Maines best road racer
while still a teenager. The sur-
prise winner of the 2003 TD
Banknorth Beach to Beacon,
Giddings proved that was no
fluke. Dressed in his South
Portland Red Riots singlet, he
blew away the field just as he
had so often during his stellar
high school career.
His two top high school com-
petitors, 17-year-old Ayalew
Taye, (31:57)and 15-year-old
Sintayehu Taye (32:15), both
from Portland, were also in the
hunt, finishing third and sixth.
The two brothers will be attend-
ing a private school in
Massachusetts this fall. The
trio competed in a number of
memorable races this spring.
Evan Graves, 23, of Bar Harbor
(31:29), "shaved 20 seconds off
his second place time from last
year, but again finished as the
runner up.
Emily Levan, 32, of Wiscasset
(35:52) won the womens race,
well ahead of Susannah Beck,
Schena
Club
wins
playoff
game
The Schena Roughriders host-
ed the Boston Indtruders
recently at the Frasca Complex
and won the quarterfinal play-
off game, 3-1.
The goal scorers were, Jamie-
Lynn Cathcart from New
Boston N.H., Kate Warner from
Gloucester and Jenny Muller
from Andover. Assists to Kate
Warner on one goal and Ashley
Hansbury from Chelmsford on
the other two.
The Roughriders record now
stands at 7-2-4.
37 of Sedgwick (37:41), who won
in,2004. Levan, who finished
second to Beck last year, is tun-
ing up to compete in the
marathon for the U.S. at the
World Track & Field
Championships in Helsinki next
Sunday.
Saturdays race along the
coast in Cape Elizabeth, Maine,
again featured the top elite run-
ners in the world among a field
of 5,000 runners from 20 coun-
tries and 42 states. Thousands
of spectators lined the course to
cheer on the runners.
What can you say? We were
blessed with fantastic weather
and some amazing races, said
Joan Benoit Samuelson, the
race founder and Maines most
recognizable athlete. These
tremendous athletes, along
with the contributions of all the
volunteers, the town of Cape
Elizabeth and the lead sponsor,
TD Banknorth, makes this such
an inspirational event year in
and year out.
The race beneficiary was the
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater
Portland and Auburn/Lewiston,
a non-profit youth development
organization that provides pro-
grams, activities and a nurtur-
ing environment to thousands
of children in Maine. TD
Banknorth, through the TD
Banknorth Charitable
Foundation' provided a cash
donation of $30,000 to the Boys
& Girls Clubs. Two Club mem-
bers, Antonio Anderson and
Rebecca McPhee, both students
in South Portland schools, held
the finish line tape.
Race officials awarded $60,000
in prize money, including
|10,0Q0 to both Okari and
Kipligat plus $5,000 for the sec-
ond place winner and cash
prizes for the top 10 finishers.
Winners in the other categories
also received $1,000 top prizes.
Northeast Delta Dental also
provided course-record bonuses
for the first time this year.
Perhaps the incentive of a
course-record bonus prompted
the elites to set a blistering
early pace, including a 4:09 first
mile. But the lead eventually
dwindled to two. Okari and
Kiprotich entered Fort
Williams Park shoulder to
shoulder, before Okari broke
away to record a remarkable
third straight sub 28:00 time,
including a course record 27:28
New England's i
TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 2005 SP5
from 2003. In the womens elite
race, Kipligat ran with the lead
pack of men out of the gate, set-,
ting the grueling pace that she
is known for. She hasn't lost a
race yet in 2005, and may not.
Other winners included:
Masters Men Mbarek Hussein,
40, of Albuquerque, N.M.
(29:40); Masters Women
Ramilia Burangulova, 44, of
Gainesville, Fla., (34:38);
Wheelchair Division, Tony
Nogueira, Glen Ridge, N.J.,
now a six-time champ (25:35)
and Laurie Stephens of
Wenham, Mass., a six-time
champ (30:23).
A total of 4,306 runners fin-
ished the race. And an estimat-
ed 10,000 spectators lined the
picturesque course and gath-
ered at the finish. A IK Kids
Fun Run for kids 12 and under
also saw more than 400
entrants.
Also, in the Harvard Pilgrim
HealthCare Corporate
Challenge, pitting teams of ath-
letes from a number of New
England corporations and busi-
nesses, UnumProvident won
first place in the mixed team
division and LL Bean won both
the mens division and the wom-
ens division.
Founded by Maines largest
bank, TD Banknorth, and
Maines most famous athlete,
Joan Benoit Samuelson, the
race benefits a different clgyity
each year as part of the TD
Banknorth Shining the Light
for Maine Youth program. The
race director is Dave
McGiUivray, who has organized
every TD Banknorth Beach to
Beacon. He also serves as the
race director of the BAA Boston
Marathon.
The race course winds
through the idyllic coastal town
of Cape Elizabeth, starting
near Crescent Beach State
Park on Route 77 and ending at
the Portland Head Light, the
most photographed lighthouse
in the world.
We are just elated to see this
kind of a field of top athletes,
but also to see people from
Maine and all over New
England, the U.S., and the
world come to Maine for this
race, said Michael McNamara,
president of TD Banknorth,
Maine.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield threw a ball at a Dunk Tank, filled with beer, with hopes
of dunking Samuel Adams founder/owner Jim Koch at a charity event in Fanueil Hall last week
for Pitching-In For Kids. The Dunk Tank was provided by Big Top Party Rental of Tewksbury. It
took over 14 kegs of beer to fill the Dunk Tank.
